Description
Fibroblast Growth Factor 8f (FGF-8f) is a cytokine belonging to the heparin-binding FGF family, which has at least 23 members. FGF-8 has 8 different isoforms, named FGF-8a through FGF-8h. Different FGF-8 isoforms have different receptor affinities, and thus participate in different signaling cascade pathways. FGF-8 has widespread expression during embryonic development, promoting gastrulation, somitogenesis, morphogenesis, and limb formation. FGF-8 also has oncogenic potential. While in normal cells FGF-8 is expressed at very low levels, in breast, prostate and ovarian cancer FGF-8 is highly expressed.FGF-8 promotes tumor angiogenesis by increasing neovascularization, and inducing osteoblastic differentiation. Recombinant human Fibroblast Growth Factor 8f (rhFGF-8f) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 223 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhFGF-8f has a molecular mass of 25.5 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
